Neil Finn & Paul Kelly: Goin’ Your Way

Neil Finn & Paul Kelly Goin’ Your Way EMI A few thousand lucky punters saw this gig as it was happening – in the same room; hundreds of thousands watched it online, streaming the event live, catching it after and now the definitive record of the event is available; a double-CD+DVD.

The Vinyl Countdown # 1833
